But shaking wasn't observed. It turned out to be a false alarm due to failure of observational equipment. To tell the truth, this was the first time I heard an earthquake alert from cell-phone. I remember that there was a pilot transmission once, but I wasn't in the designated area of the test at that time. Andwhenthere was a sudden earthquake in the early morning and I had a rude awakening, I didn't hear the earthquake alert, because my cell-phone is switched off automatically from twelve midnight till six in the morning while I'm asleep. Because: In the early 2000s, there were a lot of one-ring phone scam cases, and such calls came even in the midnight. Recently, the weblog provider sends mail magazine in the midnight.
Anyway... After this fuss, I was afraid that what if we panic and cause accident or some kinds of trouble when we hear sudden earthquake alert
. . I'd like to think of this false alarm as a drill without notice and an opportunity to think what to do when there is a sudden earthquake alert
: At least, it was good to find how Earthquake Early Warning rings. I suppose March 11 will be a disaster drill day in 21st century in our country. But originally, disaster drill day has been September 1st
; today is the day of the Great Kanto earthquake just ninety years ago -so I'm placing this diary today. There is a scene of this earthquake in an animation movie about an aircraft designer who had a dream to create beautiful aircrafts and got involved in building famous combat planes due to this dream -Or maybe this movie could be introduced as a bittersweet love story of an aircraft designer and a star-crossed lady
